Intro: strum E

C#
I open my eyes
                                     E
I try to see but I?m blinded by the white light
         C#
I can?t remember how
         C#
I can?t remember why
      E             B
I?m lying here tonight
      A               B
And I can?t stand the pain
      C#               E
And I can?t make it go away
     A               B
No I can?t stand the pain

CHorus:
                         E
How could this happen to me
              C#
I made my mistakes
                     A
I?ve got no where to run
               B
The night goes on
              E
As I?m fading away
                  C#
I?m sick of this life
              A
I just wanna scream
                B        E 
How could this happen to me
 C#
Everybody?s screaming
                                  E
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
     C#
I?m slipping off the edge

I?m hanging by a thread
   E                    B
I wanna start this over again
   A         B           C#         E
So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
    A          B       
And I can?t explain what happened
    C#       E                          A
And I can?t erase the things that I?ve done
      B
No I can?t

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I?ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I?m fading away
I?m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

{SOLO}

I made my mistakes
I?ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I?m fading away
I?m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
